QOTD 1: I'm going to ask Santa for world peace... and there are a lot of things that have to happen to get us there, including granting
@HappyGrape's Christmas wish.
QOTD 2: The first part of this week I'm doing the juice cleanse... so what I hope to achieve is to successfully complete it. So far so good, except that I've been very hungry. I think that over the weekend I didn't drink enough bottles early enough in the day. I brought three with me to work today, but probably should have brought four. I do have some rice to have for lunch, so that I have something in my belly beside liquids. I'd also like to finish knitting the gifts I'm giving my Niece and Nephew-in-law. I haven't been using patterns, and I think I've knit everything at least three times now to get them right, and now have decided to completely re-do her hat, because I love the yarn and the hat I created just doesn't do it justice. I've ripped back his mitt three times and finally like what I have going, except that I didn't make enough stitches for the thumb, so I have to rip back again... and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have enough yarn after all... at least this time it came from my local yarn store just up the street.
Favorite Christmas song... I always say 'Silver Bells', but I really like pretty much all of them. Oh, and I am particularly fond of CeeLo Green's versions of 'You're a Mean One Mr Grinch' and 'Run Rudolph Run'.
Daily accountability:
Lose 5 pounds... goal met, wait, what? As my starting weight I have to use what was on the scale at the doctor's office when I did my wellness check, because my home scale died and I hadn't weighed myself at home since then. Yesterday I finally got a new scale, and this morning, adjusting -3 pounds for the clothing I was wearing and the breakfast I had just eaten when I got weighted at the doctors, I am down 5 pounds. It seems like a lot all of a sudden, but I feel it in my body, so I think it is right.
Walk outside... spent some time out of doors, but can always do more.
Daily gratitude... was on my mind a lot, so I'm going to say I earned this one.
Spread Peace... over the weekend I did some early shopping both days before things got crazy busy, enhancing my own person sense of peace. And then I spent the remainder of the days at home, keeping my cranky old self to my self, adding to the sense of peace in my community. I can already tell I'm going to be testy today, so good thing my Boss is working from home.
